Exercise 57

You're a student who just shadowed a professional in your area of study. You had a great day with __________ at the __________ company. Sure, there was some down time when she was answering email and doing paperwork, but she made an effort to tell you what she was doing and why. (Plus, for those down times, she'd given you some good reading material about the company and its industry.) She also included you in a meeting with her team and in chats with other employees on her breaks. She treated you to lunch and had gone to the trouble to invite a couple of entry-level employees-with jobs like the one you hope to get after you graduate-to join you. All in all, she really outdid herself. Thank her in a way that befits the effort she went to for you. (Fill in the realistic details that your message will need in order to be effective.)
